Viewing/reading out of order

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else have an easy enough time watching or reading out of order. I mean like watching episodes of a series out of order or reading books out of the order of the series.

No, I get very upset if that happens...

I have read The Baby Sitters Club books out of order and Baby Sitters Little Sister books. I have watched TV series out of order too like Full House or South Park or The Simpsons.

I have read magazines backwards to frontwards when I've felt like it. There were times that I watched TV series out of order due to circumstance. Sometimes I felt like it caused the series to be more interesting.

Really depends on what it is. Some books, movies, and TV shows are written so that you can understand and enjoy them in any order, but others just assume you've been there from the very beginning. This is one of the reasons I rarely watch TV shows or read comic books anymore. Most of them are barely comprehensible to anyone who hasn't seen episode four of season eight or read issue #47 from March 1972. But even if the installments in a series can be understood and enjoyed in any order, yes, I prefer to experience them in order.

I am talking about things such as fringe or the game of thrones series. Chronological type shows or books not books that only really have the characters in common in the different books and episodes.
